FISHES 



COLLECTED IN CUMBERLAND GULF A\D DISKO BAY. 



BY TARLETON H. BEAN. 



The collection of fishes made by Mr. Kumlien embraces ten species, as 

 follows : 



1. Boreogadus saida. 



2. Gadus ogac. 



3. Gymnelis viridis. 



4. Liparis vulgaris. 



5. Cyclopterus lumpus. 



6. Coitus scorpius. 



7. Cottus scorpius sub-species gronlandieus. 



8. Cottus scorpioides. 



9. Gymnacanthus pistilliger. 



10. Gasterosteus pungitius sub-species brachypoda. 



^Yith these I have combined several species collected by Lieut. W. A. 

 Mintzer, U. S. IS"., in Cumberland Gulf in 1876, the two following being 

 additions to Mr. Kumlien's list : 



11. Lycodus mucosus. 



12. Salvelinus Naresl. 



Besides giving a report upon these twelve species recently obtained 

 by the United States National Museum, I have made a list of the spe- 

 cies recorded from Northeastern North America, which is by no means 

 complete, but is as nearly so as the limited time allowed me for search- 

 ing would permit. Of course there are many Greenland species which 

 we may be sure are found also on our northeastern coast, but we have 

 as yet no positive evidence of their occurrence. 



The additions to our collections and to our knowledge of the species 

 made by Mr. Kumlien are by far the most important contributions from 

 the region in question hitherto received by the museum, and that excel- 

 lent naturalist deserves hearty acknowledgments for the valuable ma- 

 terial which he has secured in the face of great obstacles. Two of the 

 species taken by him have not before been recorded from the northeast
